File Attachment:
Background: At its March 23, 2021 Special Meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted the Administration's Reopening Plan with a number of provisions, including monthly reports regarding air quality, with priority given for classrooms and schools without window access to outside air.

The Department of Facilities and Maintenance Services (DFMS) continues to monitor mechanical systems throughout the district and perform any necessary repairs to make sure MPS buildings are safe and clean. DFMS is contracting consultants to update documentation necessary to complete testing and balancing of the mechanical systems along with outside contractors and in-house staff performing the task. DFMS is upgrading filtration where possible and performing coil cleaning as needed. The district has deployed air purifiers throughout the buildings.

The Administration will continue to pursuing measures in assuring good air quality in MPS buildings and report to the Board monthly.
